With his mom as a witness, Newell used a 9-iron from the upper tees to solve the undulating green. His shot landed on the front third of the green, bounced forward, then curled left into the hole.

Newell’s ace was one of two at Bluestone notched within an hour’s time – on the same hole, no less. Greg Johnson also aced the 8th hole Friday morning. Details of Johnson’s hole-in-one will appear in a later edition of The Evening Sun.
